What We Accomplished Wednesday #17

Want to be a pin-up girl?  Join the party, and if you are featured, I'll pin your project to my Green Willow Pond Features Board!



My week has been so busy I haven't had time to post anything!  I'm working on my friend's project and will soon have some projects to blog about from that.  I also planted potatoes this week, and cleaned out some more flower beds.

You've all been busy too by the looks of the link-ups!  I'm short on time this week so I am going to keep the things brief and just give you the basics.  Here are this weeks top ten.

What We Accomplished Wednesday #16

Want to be a pin-up girl?  Join the party, and if you are featured, I'll pin your project to my Green Willow Pond Features Board!



It looks like our spring was a short lived one.  Last week was beautiful.  I dug out an entire 12 foot flower bed.  Lilac roots had invaded, and some of the perennials were staging a coup to take over the whole bed.  They got the ax...literally.  My hubby had to take an ax to the lilac roots.  Never fear, you can't kill those things.  This past few days has been miserably cold and wet again.  Tomorrow is supposed to be better...I sure hope so.

I tried starting a favorite rose from stem cuttings.  You can read about that here.  It's an interesting technique, that I'm curious to see if it works.

If you read my recent post about challenges, you know that my husband was laid off over two months ago.  Many responded with prayers and well wishes, that really lifted my spirits.  Ken is still laid off.  We are still praying he will be called back soon.

In an unexpected and sudden turn of events, I've been offered a part time job at our local JoAnn store.  I have not worked outside the home for many years, so I am a little nervous, and yet excited too.  It will nowhere near make up for what my husband made, but every little bit helps.  It will keep me busier though, so I may not be able to comment on all the link-ups every week anymore.  I will continue to host the party and do the features.  I get so much joy from seeing all your wonderful inspiration.

Now on to this weeks features.  The top clicked link this week was this bed and dresser redone by Freddie & Petunia. You have to see what she put on the top of the bed posts!

Some lucky chickens get to live in this adorable coop at Glass Slipper Restorations. 

Isn't the color and design of this end table just gorgeous!  This is just one of several that Susan of Sunflower Hugs repainted.

Kadee Willow painted this awesome wrapping paper herself, and if you are all thumbs at wrapping gifts, she gives a great tutorial to make it easier.

Who wouldn't want to stay in this guest room done by Celestina Marie Designs.  The problem would be getting guest to leave...I'd want to stay forever!

Picking the right type of Sharpie pen is crucial to a lasting design on dinnerware.  Terry, at Forever Decorating spills the beans on this one.

Need a desk organizer?  Check out how Denise on a Whim turned this crate into this pretty and unique organizer.

Will you be holding a yard sale this year?  Then don't miss this post packed with awesome tips to make it a successful sale.  Danielle, from Finding Silver Pennies, shares some tips here I'd never heard of!

Patti, at Old Things New, painted this sweet little table with a stenciled bird on a branch and pretty turquoise base.  Can you guess what it started out as?

Banana bread is a favorite at our house, especially if I throw in a handful of chocolate chips!  Diane, at An Extraordinary Day, claims this recipe is the best one ever.  This is a must try recipe for me!

Now, onward to this weeks party!   It's not a rule, but if you would like to follow me it always makes me smile :)
